“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I think I picked a great dog lover. Tamikia was very responsive even with a last minute request. She also sent videos which helped ease my anxiety since we’ve never had anyone outside of family care for Lolo. I cannot wait to book again!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience living with and tending to the needs of older dogs, including both large and smaller breeds. I have also spent a year as a volunteer at an animal hospital. I am punctual and detail oriented, and work well with dogs that need some extra love, care, and patience. I currently have a lot of free time, and have a part time job I attend to on Thursdays and Tuesdays. My schedule is very flexible. I am offering house sitting pet care, meaning caring for pets in the client's home (not my home). I like to go over the client's house rules and review the pet's daily/hourly needs, and proceed following the client's protocol for the pet.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and regularly pet sit for family, friends, and colleagues. I have experience with both cats and dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve lived with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I’m experienced caring for pets at all life stages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets that may need extra patience or special care. I also have experience working with very large and reactive dogs, which has taught me how to read animal body language, stay calm, and handle situations safely. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule and often work from home, which allows me to adjust my day to fit pet care needs. This flexibility makes it easy for me to stop by for visits, walks, or check-ins throughout the day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I focus on caring for pets in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully and make sure pets stay on their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My sincere enthusiasm and practical expertise with dogs of all ages and demands are what make me unique as a dog sitter. I've been taking care of friends' and family's dogs for more than two years, making sure they were content, protected, and loved while their owners were gone. Additionally, I've volunteered at a number of animal shelters, where I've learned how to deal with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from energetic pups to elderly dogs in need of more care and attention. I've loved dogs my entire life, and I know how important it is to treat each one as though it were my own. I'm here to provide dependable, caring care that is customized to your dog's needs, whether it be companionship, following a training schedule, or making sure your dog is active and comfortable. As a college student, pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I have regular breaks throughout the day and a very flexible schedule. Whether it’s between classes or after school, I can dedicate my time to caring for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. My frequent trips back and forth from school give me the opportunity to check in on your pet multiple times a day if needed, making it easy to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I’ve designed my schedule to prioritize flexibility, allowing me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry friend whenever it’s needed. I keep homes clean, maintain pets' routines, provide basic grooming if needed, and ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved during my care always!
About: I've been an animal lover as long as i can remember. I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and geckos. As a professional pet companion, I have a handful of dedicated dog walking, checking, and house sitting clients as well as cat friends! I am looking forward to getting to know your pets personal preferences and supporting them live their best lives! I specialize in training dogs and supporting high needs pets in continuing their routines as close to normal in your absence! I have some existing dog walking/training clients and would love to add more. Let's have some adventures and promote your pets' wellness!! Flexible scheduling available. It is a vulnerable experience to allow folks into your home or to care for your loved ones. I appreciate the gravity of this and hold security and privacy in the highest regards. Can also provide references.
“Sara has been wonderful with Latte. She is loving, responsible, and always communicates well. I really appreciate how attentive and caring she is during the walks. It gives me peace of mind knowing Latte is in such good hands.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been taking care of them. Currently have two cats and two dogs. My wife calls me the cat whisperer. I work full time Monday through Friday but can stop before and after work as needed. I can be fully flexible on the weekends as needed. Our current animals eat twice a day and the cat’s litter box is cleaned daily. The dogs need walks and everyone needs cuddles. I change the litter fully bi-weekly.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and cat, having one pup of my own and sharing a household with multiple animals. I offer more than just pet sitting. I’ve always loved being the one my animals count on, and that same care, instinct, and attention is what I bring to every pet I meet. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available for morning visits Sunday through Thursday before 2:30 PM, and I’m completely free all day Friday and Saturday. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding walks or drop-ins into my mornings and days off feels natural. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines or instructions closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and give them the same calm, respectful care I give my own pets.
“Sierra immediately took to my mini goldendoodle puppy and embraced him like he was her own. She is extremely helpful and insightful on how to care for pets. She is on time, responsible, responsive and attentive. I will continue having her walk my puppies.”
About: Growing up, my family always had German Shepherds who we trained to become Seeing Eye Dogs. As an adult, I currently have a senior pup and younger pup so I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. All the dogs I have had have been over 60+ pounds so big dogs or small dogs will get the care and walks they need. I work later in the afternoon every day and am free on the weekends. Any time your pup needs a morning walk I can be there! We go on many walks throughout the day. We go to parks regularly. I can run with your dogs if needed. We have a crate if you want your dog crated or it sleeps in there. No room in the house is off limits. We have daily play time with our dogs already.

“Michael was fantastic! Another walker canceled on me with little notice and Michael was able to accommodate me at the last minute, coming to meet my dog the day after I reached out to him. He was great with my dog and included important details in his daily reports.”
About: With over ten years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals. I also volunteered for several years at an animal shelter, working with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. These experiences have taught me how important it is to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I always prioritize making animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, high-energy dogs, and animals that need extra patience or attention.

Elmwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Richard is great with my dog Nugget (corgi). He always shows up on time. Nugget loves him and she gets so excited for her walks. He’s very mindful of her older age and making sure she is going slower, stopping she needed, etc. Nugget loves her walks and we are so grateful Richard is able to help us out with her care!
This was our first time using Rover and I think I picked a great dog lover. Tamikia was very responsive even with a last minute request. She also sent videos which helped ease my anxiety since we’ve never had anyone outside of family care for Lolo. I cannot wait to book again!
Brigitte, Alicia, Andrew, Yosea, and Esther are truly exceptional. They walked Liam and Cowboy alongside other dogs and handled everything with such care, confidence, and attentiveness. It’s clear they know how to manage group dynamics while still making each dog feel individually cared for. What really stood out this time was their professionalism when one of our boys unexpectedly got sick — they calmly cleaned up the vomit without hesitation and kept us informed. That kind of grace and responsibility says everything about the level of care they provide. They consistently go above and beyond, and we feel incredibly lucky to have a team we trust so completely with Liam and Cowboy. Highly, highly recommend.
Courtney was such a lifesaver while my husband was away! She walked our dog in the cold weather without hesitation and was incredibly kind, warm, and professional throughout. Our dog usually takes a little time to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. I truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us. We will absolutely be asking for her help again
Sofia was amazing with Liam and Cowboy! She took them out for a full hour and gave them so much love and attention. The boys came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. Sofia was on time, communicative, and incredibly kind—we couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to others!
